Knew what assist you were talking about before I opened the thread. Absolutely brilliant.

Amazing assist from Rashford but this is just false. Berbatov's is so famous because it seems like he literally invented it on the spot, I'd never seen a move like that before and it was named after him. Elasticos have been done far before RashfordThe Berbatov assist for Ronaldo gets way more love even though this was much better IMO.
I think because there were so many positives in Ole's first 14 games, this goal gets lost in it a bit.
It's a great example of how often the run off the ball is the most important contribution to a goal. Here it's more significant than Lukaku progressing with the ball, his cross, Rashford's header (deft as it is) or Pogba's finish. The goal comes from the run.What he does here is quite unbelievable. It's hard enough to spot Pogba's run, adjust your body, and aim the header with the right power and precision to land in Pogba's path, but Rashford does this after a 60 m sprint, where he also had to get away from the defender.
Lukaku's one of the weirdest players we've ever had, how is his crossing so much better than his finishingNice call, I completely forgot about this one. Really sweet composure and touch to get it to Pogba.
Agree with this, I've never seen a better assist than thatNani's against Arsenal beats them all IMO.
Lukaku was ridiculously good at crossing. Remember the extended period when he seemed to be the only player we had that could cross? He was shit at most other things, but he put in some wonderful crosses for us.Nice call, I completely forgot about this one. Really sweet composure and touch to get it to Pogba.
Should have kept his leaner physique and continued playing as a wide forward, receiving the ball in more space (protecting his shaky first touch), running at defences, and playing in/crossing for another CF.Lukaku was ridiculously good at crossing. Remember the extended period when he seemed to be the only player we had that could cross? He was shit at most other things, but he put in some wonderful crosses for us.
So true it was crazy. Literally wanted him to play on the wing to for that reason alone they way the other guys were atrocious.Lukaku was ridiculously good at crossing. Remember the extended period when he seemed to be the only player we had that could cross? He was shit at most other things, but he put in some wonderful crosses for us.
Yeah the great tragedy of football for me is that most of any team's best skills and attacks don't lead to goals, and quickly get forgotten.
Yep that's brilliant!How about this from Martial against Madrid? (I know not a competitive match but still)
Him spinning Carvajal inside out like that Damn near made my jaw drop in real time , so filthy.How about this from Martial against Madrid? (I know not a competitive match but still)
Yea, it was amazing. So silky.Him spinning Carvajal inside out like that Damn near made my jaw drop in real time , so filthy.
If we're talking about Martial this might be one of the best assists I've seen in the last few seasons
Him and Rashford are so skillful technically with the ball at their feet

Shoutout to Lukaku for that fine cross. Beautiful goal overallNice call, I completely forgot about this one. Really sweet composure and touch to get it to Pogba.
The Platonic ideal of a Martial dribbleHow about this from Martial against Madrid? (I know not a competitive match but still)
Partizan in the EL maybe?The Platonic ideal of a Martial dribble
My memory is very bad... who did he score against after dribbling past a few defenders at absolute full speed and full stretch this season? It's in all his highlight videos at the moment, just managing to get his toe to the ball ahead of a different defender two times in a row before managing to just tip it past the keeper. It looked less majestic than some of his best dribbles because he was less in control but I think it was probably one of his best ever because if he had made a single one of those touches even slightly differently he wouldn't have got through, and he did it all at full pace. It takes a few views from a few angles to even make out how exactly he did it. Anyone help me out here?
That's the one, cheers. 0:53 for the goal. The shot and the three touches before it are all absolutely exquisite, and all had to be.Partizan in the EL maybe?
So Berbatovs move is better because he was the first one to do it? I think Berbatovs was better because it was more aesthetically pleasing than Rashfords move.Amazing assist from Rashford but this is just false. Berbatov's is so famous because it seems like he literally invented it on the spot, I'd never seen a move like that before and it was named after him. Elasticos have been done far before Rashford
More so for me that it was not only more aesthetically pleasing, but that there's a good chance he thought of it and executed it perfectly in a split second.So Berbatovs move is better because he was the first one to do it? I think Berbatovs was better because it was more aesthetically pleasing than Rashfords move.
